David took us around the whole island explaining things to us as we went. He was very informative. We stopped at the Blue Grotto and was able to transfer to a small boat and go into the grotto. I highly recommend this activity.

    Nice Boat Day Out with Friends!

    Anne_E, Jul 2026
    This private boat tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Italy! Our captain, David, was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and relaxing from start to finish. Seeing Capri from the water is an experience everyone should have. David took us around the island, pointing out famous landmarks, beautiful sea caves, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves that you simply can't appreciate from land. He was happy to answer questions, share local knowledge, and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and enjoy the incredible scenery. The boat was comfortable, the views were breathtaking, and the entire tour felt personalized rather than rushed. It was the perfect way to experience the beauty of Capri. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Capri. If you're considering a private boat tour, don't hesitate to book with David, you won't regret it! It was easily a 10/10 experience and one of the most memorable parts of our vacation.

    Pleasant Experience

    My wife and I had a very nice experience. David our skipper was very informative and kind. We was able to relax in the water as well

    Love it!!

    Sherilyn_G, Jun 2026
    I went with my best friends and we loved the experience!! It was exactly what we wanted! The guys on the boat were extremely kind and patient with us, explaining everything we were seeing, taking amazing photos and videos, and the vibe was out of this world. I'm picky about my experiences, especially on holiday, and this didn't disappoint. We took the 2-hour tour because we thought it would be enough, and we regretted not taking more time to keep enjoying it, that's how much fun we had. 100% recommended!!!

    Awesome and amazing day!!!

    Lisa_C, May 2026
    This day was absolutely amazing. Loved having it private. It was me, my husband and our married friends (2). Absolutely a highlight of our trip and our captain was just awesome and so accommodating! If I would give one recommendation bring some snacks. Our trip was from 10:39 - 2:30 so if that's your time I would say bring some munchies. There was plenty of water and beer though!!! It's not a negative just a recommendation.

    It was great to go round...

    Agnes_K, May 2026
    It was great to go round the whole beautiful island just the two of us, with a fun and sweet skipper who knows every little secret of Capri. Thank you, Daniele, and we’ll definitely come back to see more of Anacapri as you recommended.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you very much!!!

    Best way to see Capri

    Elizabth_R, May 2026
    This was such a fun experience! The tour guide was wonderful. Boast was very comfortable and included some snacks and beverages.

    Loved it!!! Sights are so beautiful!!!

    Kara_G, May 2026
    Had an absolutely beautiful day on the water. Hit rough choppy sections but our skipper D handled it like a pro and had full control of that beautiful boat. Very impressive. Due to the high winds and choppy waters D was willing to stay out the full time and continue showing us everything he could without going into unsafe areas ( over by blue grotto which due to weather has been closed for days now) he was so kind trying to give us the most fabulous experience and he really went above and beyond. I asked for it to be cut a little short considering how choppy it was in certain sections trying not to risk getting seasick or have wicked sea legs afterwards and he was very accommodating ( I cut it about 45 minutes short). I also have an injured leg (knee in a brace torn meniscus and using a cane) and he was gracious enough helping me on and off the boat with the limited mobilty making sure I was entering and exiting without strain on my injured leg. We had delicious snacks on board. Towels were provided. An assortment of beverages. Really a great experience and I can't say enough good things about the whole trip!!! Would definitely recommend!!! The pictures I got to take being out there were stunning!!!

    Capri Private Boat Day - Beautiful

    Joshua_J, May 2026
    We had an amazing experience with David (Skipper) in Capri—easily one of the highlights of our trip. The pickup was seamless; he met us right by the port in front of a restaurant, which made everything super easy and stress-free. Even though the day started off windy, David did an incredible job navigating the waters and making sure we still had a great time. His experience really showed, and he kept things smooth and comfortable until the sun finally came out. Although the Blue Grotto was closed, he more than made up for it by taking us to several other stunning grottos that were just as memorable. He also took us all the way around the island, pointing out key spots along the way—like the lighthouses and historic homes of emperors—which added a really cool, educational element to the trip. On top of all that, he was super laid-back and easy to hang out with. He even had beer, wine, and soda ready for us, which made the whole experience feel even more relaxed and fun. Overall, this was an unforgettable day on the water. Highly recommend David if you’re looking for a great skipper in Capri!

    Perfect 2 hour lap around Capri

    Steven_B, Apr 2026
    Perfect choice for a no frills lap around the island. We did the 2 hour tour and it was great. Davide was awesome.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you Steven, happy to hear!

    This boat tour is a must...

    Xila_R, Mar 2026
    This boat tour is a must do while in Capri! This was the best way to tour the sites and get a photo op in all the best spots. The skipper, Massimo was also friendly and helpful to take photos. The tide was quite rocky in some areas due to the weather so we had to cut the journey a bit short, and they happily reimbursed me for the time lost- so they also have excellent customer service. 10/10 recommend!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much Xila!

    A little disappointing

    Maryann_S, Oct 2025
    The trip was beautiful. However we had to ask the guide questions. He didn’t give information freely. Also there were no snacks and the beer was warm.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hello Maryann, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the trip beautiful, but we're sorry to learn that some aspects didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments about the guide and will ensure they receive additional support to engage more proactively with guests. We also apologize for the lack of snacks and the warm beer—this isn’t the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll be reviewing our service standards to ensure better quality going forward. Your input is valuable and helps us improve. We hope to welcome you again for a more seamless experience

    Private boat tour around Capri

    Jeremy_T, Oct 2025
    We had a wonderful time on the boat with Captain Devin. We had missed our ferry from Sorrento to Capri but I was able to message the tour operator & they could us no worries. We were greeted at the netting place & escorted to the boat. It was a beautiful day! The Blue Grotto was closed but no fault of the tour operator. It will give an excuse to come back. Lol The tour was very relaxing and a highlight of our visit to Italy. Highly recommend!!

    Amazing experience!...

    Kaitlyn_S, Sep 2025
    Amazing experience! Having the privacy on the boat, being hassle free of others was the best way to experience the beautiful views and the people who were messaging us before the boat and the skipper were great! Was celebrating my birthday with a good friend and was a 10/10 experience, would do it again as they made my birthday celebration so special!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much! I am very happy that this was the best experience you could have had!!

    Capri is best experienced on the water!

    Stephanie_Y, Aug 2025
    Amazing trip!! I was traveling with my 70 y/o mother, and our captain (Davide) and guide (Francesca) were both so patient and helpful with the onboarding and off-boarding experience. Drinks were ready for us on board when we arrived. And there is so much to love about Capri!! During our 3 hour boat tour, we saw several caves and grottos, stopped at a swimming location, and cruised around the island. I can’t even describe the views… just breathtaking. I originally thought we might have felt rushed given the high season boat traffic or the shorter tour time compared to other options available, but that wasn’t the case whatsoever. We loved our boat trip!! Thank you Davide and company. 10 out of 10 experience.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly happy to hear that you and your mother had such a great experience with us. Davide and Francesca will be thrilled to know that their patience and care made your tour comfortable and enjoyable—especially during boarding and disembarking. Capri is such a special place, and we're glad you got to experience its beauty without feeling rushed, even during the busy season. We really appreciate your kind words and the perfect 10 out of 10. Hope to welcome you back on board soon!

    Wonderful Experience

    Jessica_C, Jun 2025
    2 hosts immediately greeted us promptly at the meeting location and escorted us onto the boat where we met Davide. He got us out of the marina and explained the plan for the 4 hours we booked. There were towels laid out and chilled drinks, wine, and fresh cherries. Sadly I was very seasick, so I did not get into the water to swim, but my husband (who was not at all seasick) was living his best life snorkelling and swimming to his heart’s content at our swimming spot. We learned so much about the island, its caves and the rock formations. The views were breathtaking - our photos couldn’t capture the beauty of the cliffs and homes from the water! Would highly recommend Davide as a tour guide and skipper. Very skilled and he was very accommodating when we had to cut our trip short due to me being so ill. We both still had a good time.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Dear Jessica, Your amazing feedback truly makes me proud of my team and satisfied for all the effort we put into our job! Thank you very much

    Definitely take a private boat trip; it is much more relaxing.
